Yes, I’m a aware of all of this and I’m not advocating literalism.

Sorry, I'm at work but, I'll try to go into more detail later.

This is the type of assumption I’m critiquing. It just doesn’t make sense.

"Creating a narrative", not "narrative". No, I'm not claiming a narrative comes from God. I Think you're completely misunderstanding me.

"The Canada goose, or Canadian goose" - wikipedia

I'm talking about the fact that "creating a narrative" is a post-modern concept, which you're projecting unto Jesus's disciples.

This is the kind of modern projection I’m talking about.

Got a video?

Freudian chicken games? The sexual hunt?

Millennials man. Passive aggressive to the core. On the other hand, I don't enjoy smoking in doors because it reminds me how nasty cigarettes are. I'd...

All geese dream of being Canadian. My roommates are asleep but would probably find reason to wake up and send me texts.

Maybe they knew they would be eaten and had a form of pre-trauma. I dunno, I'm trying to go smoke a cigarette and you two keep bogging me down. Back i...

Perhaps they were Canadian Geese? The worst of all.

Perhaps in Russia, duck cooks you, or some questionable shit. Now that I think about it, I don't know if I want to know where we get our ducks from in...

Wait so your neighbors kept ducks as pets for their kids? I'm from the midwest too, but that's crazy. :rofl: And yes, ducks make quite a meditative, r...

And it was definitely a ducky, yeah?...

I learn quickly...

Holy shit you're right. That's chicken.

The grandchildren's perspective is one of clueless joy. The duck begrudges the grandchildren. And the fact that he's been nicknamed "Daffy". He hates ...

Is this the genesis of your next short story?

Isn't "plenty" a relative term? I was commenting on the inanity of keeping "a few" ducks in the backyard. I remain uncertain what the point is. Don't ...

What do you do with ducks? Duck eggs can't be too interesting. While Peking Duck is a delicious dish, it requires hours of preparation for a very smal...

Is this true and not a joke? Fascinating.

What does this mean? This is the kind of thing I'm talking about in this thread.

This thread is such a waste of energy.

You'd be surprised how many people have chickens in NYC.

It's nice, something I would play at work if I was out of ideas. Kendrick stole the half time show, obviously: https://youtu.be/gdsUKphmB3Y?t=427 edit...

Yes, and it's not understood by any of us. When I first read about Jung's approach to dreams, I then had several very intense dreams that were easy to...

Made Thai green curry for the first time last night and it's bangin'.

A note of caution; when I say Far Journeys broke my brain a bit, I mean it put me into an existential fog for several months. That probably says as mu...

Interesting analysis. When you say "when the former is lacking" you're referring to "the senses", yeah?

I’m not sure. His second book Far Journeys broke my brain a bit. It is completely wild. But ironically there are parallels to his experiences and othe...

An interesting note: I've always had vivd dreams and dreams that seem to have "significance", but once I first read about Jung's approach, I then had ...

Does mesclun contain esculin?

Rather than rising in echelon, gauntlet has gone the way of entropy.

I mentioned a dream I had in the shoutbox, but I don't think it was a proper lucid dream, just a very vivid one in which I was in control of my flying...

Maybe I'm reading my own biases into what I'm reading. My interests aren't purely historical either, so that may be part of it. "A way of making sense...

It was a joke, note a thought experiment. :shade:

No, I'm asking whether the scholars are projecting modern ways of thinking unto the ancient past, and questioning whether that's an appropriate projec...

Unless I can remember it through anamnesis, I think I've forgotten it. :joke:

Cool. :up:

Surely both parties here have biases. There's no debating that fact. How can we know what it felt like, mentally, emotionally, at the time when differ...

What didn't you buy about it? If the physical world is evolving, I assume consciousness is as well (and I'm not a materialist). Yes, this is what I'm ...

Thanks for the info. I was looking for specific sources, though, from the literature; some books if they exist. Or is this your own surmise?

That’s fascinating. I wonder how the visions are being triggered, what the mechanics are. Is there any rhyme or reason to them, or anything you would ...

Or perhaps your dreams are your only lucid moments.

Depends on lucid you can remain during your boring waking life.

Gotta run, but one thing I want to explore is what exactly it means that gods "became one". The literature I've read and am reading seems to assume a ...
